@BryceWGarcia I never discount, but I’m usually willing to add value. “We don’t discount our prices, but if you book today I’ll make sure we have a nice charcuterie board waiting for you and your family” People don’t care about the discount, they care about feeling like they won

@anthonyserino_ That’s a great idea

@BryceWGarcia Agree. Early on we negotiated a couple times. Ended up being terrible guests. Pay or go away.

@JeremyLashinske Always. Good guests don’t negotiate. They see the value.

@BryceWGarcia We do: “Thanks for asking! Our best rate is as quoted. Will you be bringing any dogs with you?”

@tyannmarcink The assumption close. I love it

@BryceWGarcia It depends. I generally don't discount. Especially if its just a "can I have a discount?" On occasion we'll have a couple orphan nights and somebody will say "can you do $250, if not its okay!" I'll knock the $25 off & book them immediately. I get a thrilled guest maybe kharma

@Alex_P_Smith_ Yeah I discount for orphan nights to the guests that are there already

@BryceWGarcia Ask them why they want a discount? If you agree to the discount can they commit to an additional night stay?

@creromans Good one

@BryceWGarcia i agree passionately with dont discount. i think the framing in your responses could be stronger so as to win the business not just to say no.

@adotwill Haha true

@BryceWGarcia What are they offering you for that discount? A multi week stay? A short notice stay on a night that might go vacant?

@StIroningShirts The pleasure of having them 😆

@BryceWGarcia I do not discount. It just point out other content that may be helpful.

@MichLovesMoney Absolutely

@BryceWGarcia Don’t. Qualify people out in my opinion. The type of person who wants a discount/break is going to be a pain in the ass all the way to the end. We reduced our minimum for an investor once so he could get in. Most work for the least amount of money.

@jpa561 Always a pain

@BryceWGarcia Pretty easy to draw a line in the sand when you have high demand. Now, let's pretend that the shoe is on the other foot. Demand drops and you have more vacancies than you are comfortable having. Then you have a decision to make. Hardlines eventually soften!

@John_Shafi I hope to not experience that haha
